When we port a game, we try to think of what the people who made this game were trying to do. What we try to do is take great games that other people have made and we try to honor those games and when we bring them console. This is why people come to Panic Button it’s our bread and butter. GR: Did the team have to consult with anyone for these changes?ĭH: We didn’t have to consult with anyone. So we felt like Torchlight 2 would be a great fit on console. There aren’t that many action RPGs right now out there and so we love some of the older Runic games. We thought it would be a really fun to play on consoles. A lot of us at Panic Button played it for years. So we’ve done some gameplay tweaks as well to make it for consoles so it feels like it was built from the ground up for consoles.Īlso the original version of Torchlight 2 was a fun game. If you don’t hit something, you shuffle forward and hit again. So a lot of games handle that by having you shuffle forward before you do your swing. On console, you don’t have a way to select. So on PC, you are able to click on someone for a melee attack and you move over and you hit them. Because on PC, you have a browser and it’s a little different so we updated for all of those things.ĪLSO: The best Super Mario Maker 2 levels made by actual game developersĪnd some player changes. We added more pets and some exclusives for each console and some different types of multiplayer. So we designed it for a modern look and feel. Obviously, the user interface was designed strictly for keyboard and mouse. What is new in this edition?ĭan Hernberg: We’ve taken the same great game and added some extra things for console. Game Revolution: Torchlight 2 originally came out in 2012. Dan Hernberg, head of production at Panic Button, recently sat down with us to talk about the process of porting this upcoming action RPG to the Switch as well as hinting at something that would take place “later this summer.” Panic Button is behind this iteration of the game, which is the same team responsible for bringing other big console games to the handheld Nintendo platform like Doom, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, Rocket League, and Warframe. But that’s not all this port and its upcoming PS4 and Xbox One counterparts have in store for players when they all release on September 3. It looks mostly the same on the Nintendo handheld as it did almost seven years ago on PC, albeit with a new UI to fit its first batch of console ports. ORIGINAL STORY: The Torchlight 2 Switch version runs quite well. As the Switch Pro is still unconfirmed at this point, we have changed the headline to remove this implication.
UPDATE: The original version of this story suggested that Dan had hinted at the rumored Switch Pro.
